The World’s Largest Folk Art Festival is a Must-See
for Art and Culture Lovers

Featuring over 150 Master Artists from 50 Countries

JULY 12, 13 AND 14, 2019
MUSEUM HILL IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO

Santa Fe, New Mexico—This July, the International Folk Art Market Santa Fe—already the largest of its kind in the world—will celebrate its 16th year. Over one hundred fifty master artists from every corner of the globe will bring their work to this vast and colorful international bazaar. Some will arrive as celebrated cultural artists, while others will have never before left their villages, let alone crossed an ocean.

Artists from 50 countries will bring jewelry, beadwork, basketry, carvings, ceramics, glasswork, metalwork, paintings, mixed media, sculpture, textiles, musical instruments, and more. Some are honored tradition-bearers, while others are young creators reinterpreting ancient forms. Their art ranges from highly affordable to museum-quality masterworks.

Many of the artists come from developing countries where the average income is less than $3.10 a day, and where political, social, and environmental hardships can make everyday life—not to mention the creation of art—challenging. In the past 15 years, artists at the Market have earned a combined $31 million, providing them with the financial ability not only to continue making art but also to radically improve their lives and their communities.

Tickets range from $225 for the opening night to as low as $10 for advance Sunday tickets. Youth 16 and under receive free admission on Saturday and Sunday. For more information and tickets, go to 172.97.101.154 or call 505-992.7600. Tickets are limited!
